Should File Deletion be Really Slow


Recommended Posts

Shouldn't be that slow.  Post up your diagnostics.  But Windows is really bad at estimating, and at the beginning, unRaid may have to spin up drives to delete the file(s), so windows includes that time in its estimation.  After everything gets rolling, it should be more or less as fast as local.

That sounds about right.  That's 5 a minute, about 12 seconds each, for 5 to 10GB files.  The bigger the file the longer it takes.  Deleting large files in ReiserFS is MUCH slower than deletions in FAT or NTFS, which is what most of us are used to, and spoiled by.

 

After converting to unRAID v6, and if you convert drives to XFS, deletions will somewhat faster.
